Answer:

b. 54.9%

Explanation:

An emerald gemstone has the formula Be₃Al₂Si₁₆O₁₈. We can find the mass of each element in 1 mole of Be₃Al₂Si₁₆O₁₈ by multiplying the molar mass of the element by its atomicity.

Be: 3 × 9.01 g = 27.03 g

Al: 2 × 26.98 g = 53.96 g

Si: 16 × 28.09 g = 449.4 g

O: 18 × 16.00 g = 288.0 g

Total mass = 818.4 g

The mass percentage of silicon is:

(449.4 g / 818.4 g) × 100% = 54.91%

How many atoms of gold are in gold nugget with a mass of 4.25 g
Feliz [49]
Number of Atoms in Gold for given mass can be calculated using following formula,

              # of Moles  =  Number of Atoms / 6.022 × 10²³
Or,
             Number of Atoms  =  Moles × 6.022 × 10²³     ------- (1)    

Calculating Moles,
As,
                              Moles  =  Mass / M.mass
So,
                              Moles  =  4.25 g / 196.96 g/mol

                              Moles  =  0.0215

Putting value of mole in eq.1,

             Number of Atoms  =  0.0215 × 6.022 × 10²³

             Number of Atoms  =  1.299 × 10²²

Result:
            4.25 g 
of Gold Nugget contains 1.299 × 10²² Atoms.

What is being cycled??
swat32
Water is constantly being cycled between the atmosphere, the ocean and land. This cycling is a very important process that helps sustain life on Earth. As the water evaporates, vapors rise, and condense into clouds. The clouds move over land, and precipitation falls in the form of rain, ice, or snow.
